Dear list,
could anyone be so kind to explain to me why in the following MWE the trailing space are missing in the output of the \test-macro? I’m kind of puzzled as I supposed it wouldn’t be possible for \stopline to influence the behaviour of its preceding tokens. apologies for what's probably a most straight-forward question to many of you…

\def\test#1{%
        \startline[line:0]%
        \pagereference[page:0]%
        {#1}%
\stopline[line:0]%D commenting this out makes the trailing spaces in the argument appear as expected.
}
\starttext
\startlinenumbering
One \test{ two three }four
\stoplinenumbering
\stoptext

Thanks!
Daniel
